Android 4.3 Update for HTC One

At HTC, we always aim to deliver the very best experience through our smartphones. With the HTC One, this is no exception. Here are just some of the updates you can expect:

HTC BlinkFeed™

With HTC BlinkFeed™, all your favourite content is streamed live onto your home screen, now with Google+ integration and international editions allowing you more than 1,400 providers, giving you a multi-country and multi-language view. If that's not going to keep you busy enough, you can create custom feeds from keyword search or through RSS. Not just that, you can now choose to Read Later or view your feeds offline.

To set up your HTC BlinkFeed™, swipe to the right, click the menu and select Topics and services.

HTC Zoe™

With HTC Zoe™, your photos and memories won't stand still. Watch your photos come to life with sight and sound, that makes up your living, breathing gallery. With the ability to take 20 high resolution still photos and a 3 second video, you get to enjoy features like Always Smile, Object Removal, Sequence Shot and more!

What's new is you can now create an Animated GIF using HTC Zoe™ or continuous shots – right from your HTC One. What would you bring to life?

HTC Sense TV™

With HTC Sense TV™, get complete control over your TV, set-top box and home entertainment system. It gives you a simple TV program guide, set quick reminders (that also appear on your HTC BlinkFeed™), Integrated content streaming, and also, with the HTC Media Link HD, you can now view content from your phone on your TV.

What's new is a highly customizable remote control with refreshing new layout to make it even simpler and you can configure this even if you aren't using any cable provider. With My Picks, you can also improve the management of your favorite TV content.

HTC Video Highlights

HTC Video Highlights automatically selects the highlights of your day/Events to craft a stunning 30-second video. No editing skills required. Get to choose different themes/styles, put in your own music and go beyond 30 seconds.

Simply navigate to any album/event, swipe to the right and you'll be in the Video Highlights mode where you can select your content (HTC Zoe™ Photos, still frames or HD Videos), themes, and music. The video panel on top will update it immediately. It's that easy.

HTC Share

HTC Share helps you making sharing so much easier. Sharing your HTC Video Highlights, HTC Zoe™ Photos, Still frames & HD Videos in an instant in all its glory. You can now manage it so much better, right from the gallery.

In Gallery view, simply swipe to the left until you get the tab My HTC Shares, there, you can review your content, take a look at the likes and comments, share your HTC Share URL and even delete them when no longer needed.

Do Not Disturb

This is a great new setting. What it does is to block all incoming calls and turns off all your notifications. Perfect for those days where you don't want to be disturb or when you need a restful sleep at night. You can customise this and allow more important people to still get through and be in touch.

Go to Settings, Sound, Do not disturb, it's default to be OFF. Press it to start customising your parameters.

You can set it to automatically turn off, turn off at a specific time, provide exceptions for your family, select friends and boss, and allow/remove your alarms and timers too.

Quick Settings

HTC allows you to access your quick settings by using 2 fingers and swiping downwards – just like you would your notification tray. There are 12 quick settings, but the best part is, you can now customise a whole range of new options.

Swipe downwards with 2 fingers, & click the edit icon on the top left hand side, next to the menus switcher.

That gives you easy access to Do Not Disturb, Data Roaming toggle, Media Output Control, Ringtone changer, and so much more.

Other Improvements

In the pursuit of perfection, we've also made improvements all round to your HTC One.

A new music channel with a refreshed layout for the best navigation experience, no more pull down menus, with the new carousel style, just like in the gallery! Even multi-tasking

And with FREE additional 40GB Google Drive cloud storage, you're all set to be that mobile road warrior. Update your software today!

How to Update Your Software

Your HTC One would check and notify you if there's a new update available. However, you can manually check if there's an available update.

Select Settings, About, Software Updates, Check now.

Do remember to check that box for "Update over Wi-Fi only" which helps conserve your data usage.
